task lighting suggestions


Hi all,

I'm looking for suggestions for task lighting to be used to better see my turntable. I'd rather not use a clip-on and might consider a floor stander. I've also seen a few examples of track lighting and thought that might be a good way to go. My listening room ceiling is the dropped tile kind, so I'm wondering if someone makes this type of lighting for such an application.

TIA,

Dan

Thanks for the great ideas! Eddaytona, I have a light like the one you mentioned that I use by the RCM. Works very well but it does get pretty warm. Nsgarch is right, it does produce a hum if too close to the equipment. I also found that it produces a significant amount of noise on the circuit when turned on or off.

Neil, Doug has some really nice track lighting over his system that looks great and is flexible in that you add/move the lights. Wish he'd post a picture, it really looks nice and functions beautifully. There is almost no heat put out by them either which is a big plus. Even with that lighting system or the one Albert uses (which is also very cool!) I could still see the need to pull out a LittleLite from time to time.

Those Ikea's Kurt posted about are probably the most cost effective. Alas, they aren't sold through the website and I'm not close to an Ikea store. Still, it does give me some ideas of what to look for on my next run to Home Despot or Blowes.
